Let&#039;s show that | |z1|-|z2| | &lt;= |z1+z2|.This can be shown very easily on the Argand diagram.& Suppose |z1| &gt; |z2|, but the argument can be shown just as easily if they are the other way around. Draw in the vector z1. Now from the point z1 draw in the vector z2, (z1 is nose to tail with z2).Then z1+z2 is the vector joining the origin to the end of the second vector z2.The distance from the origin to z1 by the direct route is ||z1|-|z2|| + |z2|, whereas going from the origin to z1 via the point (z1+z2) the total distance is |z1+z2| + |z2| and this will be two sides of a triangle and so greater than the direct route.It follows, comparing these, that||z1|-|z2|| + |z2| &lt; |z1+z2| + |z2|,so ||z1|-|z2|| &lt; |z1+z2|.Equality arises if z1 and z2 are in a straight line with the origin and on opposite sides of the origin.

Let&#039;s show that |z1+z2|&lt;|z1|+|z2|.This is proved with the &#039;triangle inequality&#039; - two sides of a triangle are always greater than the third side.In this case we have a polygon which is formed by adding the two vectors nose to tail.The lefthand side is the magnitude of the straight line joining the origin to the end of the second vector, thereby closing the triangle.The righthand side is the sum of all sides of the triangle, (except the closing line) and is clearly greater than the single closing line to the end of the second vector.

"The level of my satisfaction with assignmentexpert services on the scale of 1-10, i gave a 8 for to their efficient respond and polite service. They're very professional and make sure you're okay with your received product. The quality of the completed assignment on the scale of 1 - 5, i gave a 3, the reason is because my assignment did not fully met the requirements that i provided, and some of the functions has problem executing, other than that, everything is working fine. Also if your assignment is very complicated, make sure to give extra days for the team in case they cant finish it by your actual due date."
I mean no disrespect, just hope the review will help improving your team and services. Hope you understand.
Other than that, good job, keep up the good work. The world could always use more heroes.
